Lara Stone has been hailed as one of the worlds sexiest women, as much for the challenging look in her eyes as for her figure. But the model said she doesnt feel particularly seductive.

[B]eing sexy is something inside and not everybody has it. I dont think I ever really had it, a lot of it is to do with confidence, the Calvin Klein spokeswoman told Stylist. Lady Gaga, for example, walking around in her bra and knickers and being really sexy but still shes just not sexy at all, to me.

Okay, so shes not into Lady Gaga. Who, then, does Stone find attractive?

Im obsessed with Nigella Lawson. I think she is just the most gorgeous thing ever. Her skin practically makes me drool. Id love to be just like her.

Like her idol, Stone said she's becoming quite the domestic goddess. She took up knitting to distract herself after she quit smoking, and shes quite the foodie, enjoying English classics such as shepherds pie, bangers and mash and fish and chips. Her real craving comes from closer to home: Dutch licorice. Stone said she buys it by the 10-kilo bag every time she visits her family in the Netherlands, storing it beside her bed for easy access.
